[Jerusalem Post] Yaakov Katz - An Israel Defense Forces request to permit Israeli soldiers to control the new high-powered radar that the U.S. has deployed in the Negev has been declined, senior defense officials told the Jerusalem Post on Sunday. The radar, known as FBX-T, will be hooked up to the U.S. military's Joint Tactical Ground Station and will cut the response time of Israel's Arrow anti-missile system. The Arrow's current radar can pick up incoming missiles at a range of 800 to 960 km. The new system has a range of around 1,900 km., giving Israel vital minutes to respond by launching interceptors. The IDF asked to be allowed to station soldiers in the radar station to be able to process the information received. "The Americans have so far said no, but this could change over time," one official explained. "We would prefer to have complete independence when it comes to our warning systems." 2008-09-29 01:00:00Full Article
